  # Introduction  Most people picture building a voice agent as stitching three things together: speech-to-text (STT), a large language model (LLM), and text-to-speech (TTS). Wire them up, and you’re done. That picture is correct as far as it goes, and it describes the simplest architecture, where each stage waits for the previous one to fully …

For robots to assist humans in everyday environments, accurate spatial reasoning is not enough. Robots must also think fast, timing their decisions and reasoning with the real-time speed of the physical world. That’s why today we’re launching Gemini Robotics ER 2, our most capable “embodied reasoning” model for robotics. Think of Gemini Robotics ER 2 …

The Physics: Energy, Probability, and Temperature that can exist in several different states. Each state has an associated energy. Some states are cheap, requiring very little energy, while others are expensive. One fundamental question statistical physics asks is deceptively simple: Given all these possible states, how likely is the system to occupy each one? At …

  # Introduction  The narrative around generative AI is shifting in 2026. While massive frontier models keep grabbing headlines, the reality of enterprise AI deployment looks very different. Cost constraints, latency limits, and strict data privacy requirements have pushed engineering teams away from trillion-parameter behemoths and toward small language models (SLMs). Ranging from 1 billion to …

Welcome back! our journey of understanding backpropagation in detail. Let’s briefly recall what we covered in Part 1 so far. A Quick Recap We first started trying to understand neural networks using a simple dataset. Image by Author In that process, we first built a small neural network and understood how it makes predictions through …
